Use headless Chrome to generate PDF's
Note, this is rather specific to a use case I have and not designed for public consumption. Should probably be used as more of a guide than a dependency in your own project. However I'm happy for pull requests that make it more configurable.
Setup
sudo apt-get install libxss1 libappindicator1 libindicator7
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome*.deb # Might show "errors", fixed by next line
sudo apt-get install -f
Developing on Mac
- On Mac, the chrome executable is not called
google-chrome, so before running server.js run the following command from the root of this repo
source env_mac
- To start the server run
node server.js
